advertising to the unborn

crazy idea and article that a friend forwarded online.
companies may want to advertise to the unborn.
if the research is true, unborn peeps exposed to tunes and jingles may develop brand affinity once born.

what?

saving money on ink, help environment

A Cartridge World just opened up across the street from my apartment complex. i refilled my Epson black ink for $10.70 including the 20% student discount. this way the cartridge does not end up in a landfill and this process uses less energy to refill.

they have several locations.

Psyop

Don't remember if Stan showed this in class or I just looked over Andrew's shoulder one day. Super awesome stuff at their site:
psyop.tv.

advertising makes news


so Louis Viutton, the maker of those expensive brown and gold bags, really caught my eye yesterday.
their new campaign featurs Mikel Gorbachov. not who comes to mind when i think of fashion really.

cnn is covering the story too.

JibJab

they have different spoofs on their site including a musical medley:
what we call the news.

campaign to care

not voting, but the (red) campaign tries to get people involved in fighting the spread of AIDS and raising money, awareness.
they definitely made a brand, but i don't know how successful it was.

their commercial doesn't give you any information.

voting

do you like WWE? honestly, who doesn't, better watch out cuz they're asking you to
smackdown your vote
it has links to several other campaigns including rock the vote, voto latino
Mobilize.org has a refreshing article about how much young people do know about politics

Also, Adobe paired up with AIGA in 2000 for a voting campaign. Look at a a few posters
